Blossoms in Adversity 惜花芷 Episode 20

The Queen Mother cried and lay on the coffin. She couldn't help but feel sad that forty years of friendship had come to an abrupt end. When leaving the mourning hall, Hua Zhi took the whole family to thank the Queen Mother for her kindness. The Queen Mother said with emotion that the Hua family could stay with each other day and night and meet in times of adversity, which made her very envious. Originally no one was attending the funeral, but because the Empress Dowager sent a memorial service, many people took advantage of the situation and hurriedly came to Hua Mansion to pay their respects. Shaoyao hid aside and cried. Shen Huan took a bag of rice crackers to comfort her. After eating a few mouthfuls, Shaoyao took Shen Huan into the mourning hall and placed the rice crackers on the offering table.

Hua Xian arrived, but Hua Jing was nowhere to be seen, so Hua Zhi called Berlin and asked him to report the funeral to her aunt on behalf of the Hua family. Lin Wan announced his funeral at the door of Song's house. Although Song Chengzu was extremely reluctant, Lin Wan was Hua Jing's biological mother. Once he was accused of being unfilial, the future imperial examinations of the young master of the Song family would be affected, so Song Chengzu took Hua Jing's death. Push it out quietly. Hua Zhi blocked Hua Jing at the door and asked her to keep watch for Lin Wan at the door of the house. Hua Jing refused to do it, so Hua Zhi told the scandal about Hua Jing in the street. Hua Jing still wanted to make a fuss, so Hua Zhi took out the Song family's aphrodisiac and threw it in front of Hua Jing's eyes. Hua Jing was speechless. The common people also accused Lin Jing of being despicable. Just when Lin Jing was furious, she saw Aunt Qin, so she slapped her down and scolded Aunt Qin. Aunt Qin didn't want to endure it anymore, so she started fighting with Hua Jing. In panic, Hua Jing pushed Hua Qin to the ground, who was trying to stop the fight. Aunt Qin was completely angry and tore off Hua Jing's coat, so Hua Jing He quickly grabbed his clothes and ran away. Hua Zhi said to the people watching that from now on, Hua Jing and her children would be cut off from the Hua family, and their family's affairs would no longer have anything to do with the Hua family.

Gu Yanxi refused to eat or drink when he was banned from the Shen Pavilion. Gu Chengtao coaxed him with his favorite chestnut cake. The rule between father and son is an eternal truth. He advised Gu Yanxi not to be entangled anymore. When Gu Yanxi returned home, she asked Gu Yanxuan if he had ever been in love. Gu Yanxuan didn't care. He felt that the king should be the minister, the father should be the son, and everything was more important than this. Born in the Gu family, he was destined to have no true love. In the Qisu Division, Chen Qing gave Gu Yanxi the honey cake that Huazhi had given him before, and revealed the news of Lin Wan's death. After hearing this, Gu Yanxi hurriedly rode to Hua Mansion, where he found Huazhi at the training ground.

Gu Yanxi confessed his identity as the heir apparent and did not hide that he was the envoy of the Qisu Division. Hua Zhi asked him several questions in succession with red eyes. Gu Yanxi responded to all of them. There was no concealment or deception. Hua Zhi cried and said She didn't hate him. He was not the one who exiled the young man from the Hua family. He was not the one who bullied and blackmailed her. She would not express her anger or vent to him, but she remembered the ten sticks. Unless Gu Yanxi dealt with her in the future, She should be better, otherwise she would take it back. After saying that, Huazhi hugged Gu Yanxi.

Shaoyao saw Gu Yanxi coming out of Huazhi's room and hugged her excitedly. At night, a slave named Qingxiang brought snacks to Gu Yanxuan, saying that they were sent by Gu Yanxirang as an apology. Gu Yanxuan took a piece of snack for him to eat, and saw him eating it. After checking his pulse and confirming that he was fine, Gu Yanxuan took a bite with confidence.

Lin Wan's personal maid, Aunt Su, insisted on leaving, and Hua Zhi personally saw her off. Before leaving, Aunt Su gave Hua Zhi the hairpin that Lin Wan had given her.
